Chris Mccandless: A True Hero
Chris McCandless, He is a hero for me. I look up to him because feel like we both have a lot in common. Chris McCandless said, “If you want something in life, reach out and grab it.” He wanted to live his life in a different manner. Chris was brave for not turning his back on what he believed in. He looks selfish from someone else's point of view. Sometimes it’s better to make a selfish act for your own happiness, isn’t it? What I have learned from his fantastic experience is that everyone should take chances, even if it seems reckless or stupid.
I am sure a lot of people would disagree on his way of thinking or his actions. I believe they disagree with him because they do not understand him. One big part of why McCandless picked that way of living was because he had so much pain in his heart. He understood that pain was coming from living in a lie. He was lying about being his true self to everyone around him. That made him unhappy so he decided to give up everything including the money and rich lifestyle. …show more content…
McCandless didn’t want that life. He wanted more. He didn’t want to be living like society wanted him to. He hated being someone that he wasn’t. He accepted that he would never be the person society expected him to be so decided to travel and see the world’s beauty. In his journey, he learned many things and met people that he would have never met if he was living a normal life.
I believe that Chris McCandless is brave and courageous. He chose to take a risk and said “I don’t want to live this boring life. I don’t care what people say or think.” In the end if he would have listened to everyone and tried to satisfy them, they would never be happy. He lived life the way he wanted to live it. He found his own happiness by travelling and doing something
